Overview

About 2 Bixley Drive

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

2 Bixley Drive is a three-bedroom detached house in Rushmere St. Andrew, Ipswich, Ipswich (IP4 5TS). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 886 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2010) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot.

Held since April 2011 — that's 15 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £326,000 sits 50.1% above the 2011 sale of £217,250. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£245/sq ft) was about 29% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 82 m² it sits well below the postcode median (132 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 2 Bixley Drive is modelled from its 82 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP4 5TS. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 2 Bixley Drive. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 2 Bixley Drive was lodged in May 2010 at band E and expired in May 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to 2 Bixley Drive. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 18 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP4 5TS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
2 Bixley Drive is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
